CHAMPAIGN — University of Illinois guard Brandon Paul underwent surgery Friday to repair his lower broken jaw that he suffered in an accidental collision during Thursday night's open gym at the school.

Paul is expected to make a full recovery and return to noncontact drills in two weeks.

He and teammate Devin Langford dove for a loose ball at the same time and Langford's shoulder dislocated Paul's jaw in the collision.
